My son has an 05 with a after market air filter kit.
I see who ever put the kit on didn't put the MAF back in it.
Their is a place for it in the kit.
The plug in from the truck end is there but nothing hooked up.
Truck runs alright without it.
Is it needed and should I go get one and install it and hook it up.

Does the plug have a block off in it, and is there a smaller 2 wire sensor installed in the air tube? Sime trucks Only ran an iat sensor instead of a maf, but the plug was still there for the maf, just had a dummy end installed in the connector.

If there is an open hole in the inlet tube, then I would definitely put something there so you dont suck unfiltered air into the turbo/motor.

Yes this just has an air intake temp in it. But there is no dummy plug on the end of the wires for the MAF.
So it should be alright to leave it alone then.
